Sparkles of light accompanied by an intense heat began to dance on the evening night. Two streaks of blue light began moving and destroying the area without holding back. It was a beautiful sight yet destructive at the same time.
Apollo was calculating his and his opponent's moves, making sure he was one step ahead of the flow of the battle.
"I still haven't landed a single hit" Sergio thought while copying one of Apollo's earlier spells.
A lance made up of lightning was formed however that move was within Apollo's calculation.
It was a bluish-white light, brilliant and jagged mass of electricity, extending from the sky to the ground.
Apollo saw how the clouds generated a bolt of lightning and went towards the lance Sergio was making. A grin emerges on his face, thinking his lance has become more powerful than the one Apollo used before.
An intense yet dazzling light sends tendrils of heat, spreading out from the main bolt, resembling a spear that pierces through the sky.
Sergio was up in the air while holding a lance made of lightning.
"Let's see if you can dodge this"
[In coming Creator]
The lance hurls through the air, burning fast and effortlessly.
A mass explosion of electricity burst as the lance hit something. A pile of rubble and dirt was pushed off the ground causing a smoke of dust to cover the area.
Sergio thought he had his opponent however once the dust was kicked off he saw Apollo completely dodge the strike.
He doesn't understand how someone could be completely unharmed after all the attacks he did.
He would never expect that the creature in front of him had read his every possible movement and had acted before he could even commit the act.
The lance was something Apollo had read and thus he had already positioned himself in a place where the strike wouldn't affect him.
"It's as if he knows every action I was planning to do" the monastery Bishop thought. A wave of anxiety slowly crept into his body.
"No, I wouldn't be defeated!"
The old grimoire appeared once again floating ominously in front of the priest, its pages began to move as if finding a specific page.
"Fourth gospel of the holy book, the empire of heavens is with you"
Apollo just watches him as he summons a spell based on another religious text.
"So they go around copying others then claiming it as their own"
[Notification Alert!
A powerful conquering spell is about to be cast
The effects of the spell are a wide range of debuffing spells and a dome of protection for the enemy]
[Proceed to break the spell?]
"No, I want to test something"
[Why do I suddenly feel worried about this]
Apollo chuckled before being hit by an overbearing pressure.
His body and instincts scream telling him to escape but Apollo remains standing not wanting to seem weak.
Even with his heavy body and clouded mind he was still able to read the next attack on Sergio.
"Lean right" his body moved according to his will, and with every passing second the heaviness he had been experiencing was becoming worse. The attack launched by Sergio still failed to hit its target.
"Why!" he couldn't help but shout in frustration.
He had removed all of Apollo's senses yet he was still able to move and dodge the strike he made.
He can't hear, feel and see, all that is left on him is an endless pit of darkness.
With Sergio's current state, the fourth gospel soon loses its effect finally freeing Apollo.
"Finally I can see"
He stretched his arms and neck since the fourth gospel made his body stiff.
[Creator incoming attack]
"Yes I can feel it"
Apollo just waved his hand and a layer of lightning became his shield.
"You look crazy priest" his screech-like voice made Sergio shake his head.
The priest's hair is messy while his clothes are damaged due to being continuously pulled. It seems like the priest utilised one important artifact to get out the effects of the third gospel.
Apollo wasn't really surprised, they have existed for hundreds of years so it'll be no wonder if they have one to two important tools and artifacts.
His sudden recovery of his senses unexpectedly shocked his body causing his senses to go haywire. His head was flooded with all sorts of light while his ears were busted with the crinkling sound of the night.
"My head!"
In his confused state Apollo decided to end the pointless fight. His wish to experience their ways of fighting and style of spells was already satiated, now he needed information.
"Let me knock you out"
Lightning danced as Apollo appeared right in front of Sergio.
"Thunder aura, Lightning shock"
His hand were already one inch away from his target when a notification emerged.
[Notification Alert!"
An army had been detected to approach the area]
"Enemies?"
[Based on my scanner it seems like they are the accomplices of the bishops in this area]
"Who were they"
[One of the famous families in this region, Stannis from the city of Ashcliff, northeast of the City of Sidus]
"Hmm...if I am not mistaken one of the kids from the High class was a Stannis right?"
[Yes, it's the kid you'd been wanting to abduct but because he is in High class you couldn't touch him]
"Right with the people I killed this past week, the academy became too protective of its students. I need to cool down a bit before making a move again"
[Creator they are approaching fast]
"Yes I can feel their mana"
Apollo shifts his gaze at Sergio before smashing to him the spell he had cast before.
A discharge of electricity courses through the priest's veins, putting his nerves in chaos resulting in him being paralyzed.
"Done now Jeremiah store him away"
[I will]
"Let's see I still have a couple of mana I should use it well"
A gloomy, dim and overcast layer of dark clouds swallows the sky causing more darkness than the regular night. The light from the moon could no longer penetrate the might of the darkness. The clouds appeared heavy and thick, hinting at an impending storm that was about to come.
